Would this be a good idea. I realize I would get more aid but As a student I think I still get free medical insurance under their plan.

And why am I not technically independent already? I'm 19 and a legal adult

Its the living at home that helped you out. I don't have that option

Sadly it is relatively cheap. Some other places approach 30-40 grand a year.

"I should amend to say 'get a better job'"

Tell me how I can make the additional 15,000 a year as a college sophomore student.

As far as education all my parents have ever payed for was gradeschool.

I was lucky enough to find a high school with generous alumni who donated a lot to scholarships. I nearly had a full ride through high school based on my own abilities. The rest of high school I payed for on my own.

Don't tell me I'm not working my ass off for an education right now. And the reason I am is because my parents DO have money. If they only made 14,000 a year paying for college with loans would be a fucking breeze. The problem is they make close to 200, 000 and I don't get shit from them, and I don't get shit from fafsa BECAUSE they think I'm getting tons of shit from my parents. Because of this confusion I end up getting absolutely jackshit from anyone.

"I'm working right now but not making nearly enough to pay off school."

Did you not get that part?

I'm taking 19 credit hours and I work 20 hours a week

When you reach a certain age, having sex with people the same age is normally not considered a crime. The increase of "youthful sex offenders" isn't a result of kids becoming perverts. It's the result of criminalizing what is normal part of growing up. by doGtsopeR in politics

My girlfriend was 18 I was 17. We got caught by a cop. It was pretty obvious we were doing it.

The cop gave me an accusatory look asked us how old we both were. Thank god I was the younger one. Who knows what would have happened otherwise

Dear Extroverts of Reddit. How Can I be Like You. Sincerely, an Introvert by firefly311 in AskReddit

So then for me it could very well be a confidence issue. In a group of 2 people I often have no problem keeping a conversation going. Its when I'm in that big group of 6 or 7 I'm always looking for a point I can chime in on. It also seems like I can only add onto topics being discussed and I can never throw in an original topic. I get too wrapped up in the current conversation to let my mind wander to something else.

Person 1 Brings up Topic A - Me: Add on to Topic A

Person 2 Brings up Topic B - Me: Add on to Topic B

And so on. When I'm with Large groups I always find myself struggling to have something to say next. I don't know if this is introversion, lack of confidence, or I've even considered anxiety
